Indian and Pakistani women have taken up this attire since the Mughal era, and it has continued to steal everyone’s hearts with new designs and modern alterations and amendments. Today, we will present out all the latest sharara outfits that you should be thinking of getting for yourself this wedding season.

What To Wear With Shararas?

We’ve already done a detailed post on Latest Gharara Suits since ghararas are pretty much like sisters for shararas. The main difference is that while ghararas are more fitted around the thighs, shararas are loosely fitted. Moreover, unlike ghararas, shararas do not have stitching around the knee. You could consider shararas to be the ancestors of the modern palazzo pants. Before we get into details, here are some tips on how to style your shararas.

  • Traditional and conventional work can be done on modern cuts.
  • The same is with old fabric; new cuts and work can make the old fabric look new.
  • Pair lightweight jewelry with heavy work shararas to get you going through a summer wedding.
  • Even if the sharara is not heavily worked, jewelry can make a big difference.
  • A fancy, heavy worked sharara is more appropriate for brides.
  • Net, Gota, Kiran have made a great comeback; make use of them in your wedding wear shararas.
  • Pair jhumkas and chandbalis with traditional shararas to make them look more royal.
  • How you style the dupatta with your sharara will define the whole personality. Make sure the dress is more visible than the dupatta. The best way is to pin it at the shoulder on one side and wrap it around the hand on the other.

So, now that that’s done let’s move forward to the ideas of the latest sharara styles.

↓ 15 – Celebrities In Shararas

Two-legged shararas are a lot like ghararas, except they are not gathered above the knee in chunnatain form; rather, they are two flared, wide legs from top to bottom. Like Sonakshi Sinha has been seen wearing here, a beautiful white sharara and an embroidered shirt and net dupatta, also in white, which all in all looks like a desi princess. We especially love Sonakshi’s choice of nude lips and dewy makeup with this outfit since it was a daytime look. For a night function, you can glam it up with bolder makeup.

↓ 14 – Mehndi Ensemble

This another two-legged sharara in velvet is a perfect mehndi ensemble for winter or spring. Obviously not in South Asia, because spring here is almost like summer, and no one can bear to wear velvet in the scorching heat of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, or UAE. However, desi’s across the seven seas can take on this ensemble with ease in times of spring. A beautiful blue embroidered peplum, which is not too heavy nor too simple for your best friend or your sister’s wedding festivities. Paired with flared, two wide-leg shararas and some gold traditional neck and earring piece to complete the whole look. A golden dupatta shown in the picture would work fine with it, chiffon or net pearl dupatta matching the colour of the sharara would look absolutely divine and will pull together the whole outfit as well.

This beautiful velvet Maria B green sharara is all you need for a winter wedding. Got your friend’s wedding? Or a faraway relative or cousin’s wedding coming up? This is all you need to get through the winter mehndi days with elegance and ease. The fabric of velvet is warm and comfortable, which, however, fits best for winter but there is nothing else you would want to drift to on cold wedding days. A beautiful two-legged sharara in one fabric and one colour from head to toe, except for the dupatta to add colour contrast and so you can match your jewelry with it too. The beautiful embroidery on the lower flare of the sharara, on the border of the sleeves, and on the neckline gives it a subtle touch to make it look like wedding wear but nothing above the roof. Who would want to deal with heavy, intricate embroidered shararas on distant relatives or friend’s weddings? I wouldn’t, and if you don’t, then this is the perfect style for you.

↓ 12 – Designer Sharara

Banarsi fabric has been the MVP of shararas, ghararas, saris, and all desi clothing since the beginning of time. Initially, sharara, gharara, and saris used to be of banarsi fabric; with time, however, embroidered, chiffon, net, cotton, and other fabrics made their entry into the world of shararas and ghararas. Bnarsi sharara and an embroidered shirt still remind us of the 90s. This beautiful ensemble adorned by Maya Ali, the creation of Nomi Ansari, is a perfect mix of today’s world and the initial sharara, gharara times. A beautiful sky blue topped with copper-colored embroidery and a mix of blue and copper-colored banarsi fabric for the sharara. The dress speaks enough for itself, so only big jhumkas would work to pull the whole look together. Simple banarsi sharara would work just fine with it too, but like shown here, some embroidery on the lower flare of the sharara looks beautiful and heavy as well.

Shararas and ghararas are not only wedding wear or saris for that matter. In the early 90s and 80s, shararas, ghararas, and saris were adorned on an everyday basis by the older women of the house, like grandmothers, mothers, and aunts. With time and modernization, though, these desi clothing items were confined to wedding wear only. However, with the 90s and 80s fashion making a comeback, South Asian celebrities have been seen wearing the desi attired on an everyday basis as well, like at a movie premiere, as their airport attired or on other days of work, which have inspired their fans and followers to take up that fashion as well. Like this beautiful Indian actress here, wearing a simple white patterned cotton frock and a sharara with a chiffon dupatta, and lace added to the borders and the neckline to add some style to it. Some dainty silver chandbalis and jhumkas with traditional silver bangles would put the whole outfit to rest. All in all, this outfit looks divine. Whether it’s a casual sharara or a formal one, the dupatta brings the whole look together, which is why we’ve compiled this list of 17 Types Of Dupattas that you must have.

While brides are only seen in traditional one-legged flowy, flared shararas or ghararas, this is a comfortable and beautiful alternative to that, with equal royalness and beauty to it. Everything about the bride attire stays the same, the bling, the heavy work, the fabric, and the jewelry and footwear, except the sharara, now it has two legs rather than one. Does not look odd with the wide and flared legs of the sharara, as they almost look like one wide leg sharara. The long shirt also modestly covers the legs and yet it is a perfect alternative for any modern bride.
